10.2 Instance preparation

This section describes the tasks needed to prepare our instance for the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 instance migration script. Some of the tasks needs to be performed in the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system and some in the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.

Note: The WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 environment does not need to be shut down in order to prepare the instance.

10.2.1 Updating the product information file

The product level information prior to WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1.1.x is stored in SITE table. In WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1.1.x and its successors, all product level information is stored in product.xml located in:

<wc51_home>\xml

The product file structure in WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 is not compatible with WebSphere Commerce V5.6 and cannot be migrated. To solve this incompatibility a template file is included in WebSphere Commerce V5.6 located in the following directory:

<wc56_home>\migration\product.xml.51.sample

To prepare the product information file for migration, complete the following steps:

1.On WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1, rename the existing file (if any) product.xml to product.xml.old

2.Copy the product.xml.51.sample file from the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system, in the following directory:

<wc56_home>\migration

To the following directory on the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system:

<wc51_home>\xml

3.Rename the copied file to product.xml.

4.Copy the product.dtd file on the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system, from the following directory:

<wc56_home>\xml

To the following directory on the WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system:

<wc51_home>\xml

5. Open the file product.xml in a text editor, for example, Notepad.
